Lawn Care Cost Calculator
Help your lawn care business stand out with an interactive quote calculator. This template lets property owners get instant estimates for mowing services, fertilization programs, weed control, aeration, overseeding, and seasonal cleanup. Pricing adjusts based on lawn size, terrain, and current condition. Customers who see transparent pricing are more likely to book. Capture their property details and convert website visitors into scheduled appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set minimum service charges?
Yes. The calculator has built-in minimum charges for each service type. You can adjust these minimums to ensure profitability on smaller lawns while staying competitive on larger properties.
How do I handle different service areas or zones?
You can create multiple versions with different base pricing for different service zones. Or add a travel fee based on distance from your main service area.
Can I offer package discounts?
Absolutely. Bundle mowing with treatment programs and show the savings. Customers who see value in full-service packages are more likely to commit to annual contracts.
Does this work for commercial lawn care?
Yes. The square footage input goes up to 100,000 sq ft, making it suitable for commercial properties. You can adjust the pricing tiers for commercial accounts.
Can I capture property photos or details?
The submit button can be configured to collect additional information. Many lawn care companies follow up with a quick property assessment before confirming the final price.
